Offset Peak Load Times

Electricity prices vary with the season and time of day. Peak load electricity – for example, the power that consumers draw on during the middle of a hot summer day – costs more than the average rate of electricity. The advantage of solar power is that peak load times coincide with peak hours of sunshine. Solar power systems offset these peak load times driving greater savings.

Hedge Against Rising Electricity Costs

With solar power, customers are able to predict and ensure consistent reliable energy costs for years into the future without relying on fluctuating energy prices from the open market. Solar is a reliable asset that removes uncertainty and allows for better budget planning.

Low Maintenance

Solar power systems are reliable and require minimal maintenance, delivering stable returns for 25-plus years.

Marketing Advantage

In today’s competitive environment, businesses that go solar have a competitive advantage and can showcase their sustainable brand.
